Open or Closed on Thanksgiving 2018 – Once again it is the time of the year when the colours of Autumn signal the holiday of Thanksgiving and families and friends will gather to celebrate and give thanks for the blessings they received. Each blessing will count, whether it be considered small or large – including the abundant amount of food usually laid out upon the table. Perhaps this year you might consider thinking to those who may be less fortunate and perhaps reach out to them as well – isn’t there always room for an extra seat at the table?
